Found & One Postcrossing

All of these but one were found at my uncles house.


This one has information about the plane on the back: "PA-11 Piper Cub. Max Wt: 1220lb Max Baggage: 20lb Fuel: 17gal Oil: 1gal Level Flight: 90mph Max Glide or Drive: 122mph Ceiling: 14,500ft Empty Wt: 720lb Useful Load: 500lb MFG Started: April 30, 1947 HPC85 - original A-65". I think this was taken at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Canaan, CT.

This is the one I got from postcrossing. Nothing written on it, it was just sent in an envelop. On the back it says: "Zion National Park, Utah. Here pictured are two of the three Patriarchs. The Virgin River acting as natures sculptor, has carved out fantastic shapes resembling high cathedrals and temples".

I got this one from my uncle's house. I'm not sure if he visited there or if someone gave it to him. There's nothing written on the back of it.

I found this one at my uncle's house as well. This is a golf course near his house. On the back it says, "The Timberlin Golf Course, designed by Al Zikorus was opened on July 1, 1970. It is a municipal course under the direction of the Park and Recreation Commission in the town of Berlin, Connecticut. It is located in the center of Connecticut on Route 364".

Postcrossing + From Friends



Here is a postcard from a family friend. On the back it says "The Charles River. Boston, Massachusetts. Thousands of Bostonians have learned the fundamentals of sailing almost in the shadow of the John Hancock Buildings at the foot of the Beacon Hill where the bold signer of the Declaration of Independence lived".


This one is also from a family friend. On the front, there is the town hall for Needham, Massachusetts. On the back it says, "Located 12 miles southwest of Boston, Needham is a pleasant suburban town. It is easily accessible to major highways and, although it is residential in character, more than 50 manufacturers on 700 other business firms are located here".


This one is from my penpal, who sent it on her trip to Denmark. On the front of the postcard, the photos are of the Henne Strand. So beautiful!


This one is from postcrossing. I can't read the text printed on the card since it's in Ukrainian. The picture on the front is called "Spring" from a series called "Seasons". It was painted by the father of the person who sent me the card.

This is another postcrossing one. The photo on the front is of Lake Travis in Austin, Texas. The photo was taken by the person who sent the card. They actually included their flickr address so you can see their other photos.

Here is another postcrossing card. On the front, there is a famous Finnish painting by Kaj Stenvall.

This card is from postcrossing. The photo on the front is a beautiful beach in Brazil. I absolutely love the stamps on this one! :)

One Postcrossing, Two from my Uncle

I found this postcard at my great uncle's house. He had a goat farm, so this card was very fitting. He participated in multiple programs within the local schools talking about his experiences as a veteran, and someone sent him this as a thank you note.


I also found this one at my great uncle's house. On the back it says, "V.F.W National Home. Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Headquarters for the world's only fully equipped and fully trained "teenage" fire department".


I recieved this one through postcrossing! It was sent from Russia. If you'd like to get a closer look at the text, just click on the photo. On the back it says, "Moscow. View of the Kremlin from the Moscow-River".
